OMG please if anyone is doing optional unit CYPOP 17 I desperately need advise

Explain how carers can be engaged in the strategic planning of services

Carer could be parents of children or carers themselves I guess, but not sure how they could be involved, unless they start to talk with local mp for change..

please could anyone give me a push in the right direction. Even the title of something to read would be great.
